# Installation and Setup

## Supported Engine Versions

The initial release has been built and validated on Unreal Engine 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, and 5.8 for Win64. Install the plugin version that matches your project's Unreal Engine version.

## Install from Fab

1. Open your Epic Games Launcher and locate **Roo Gameplay Framework** in your Fab Library.
2. Click **Add to Engine**. Depending on your Launcher version, this action may be shown as **Install to Engine**.
3. Select the Unreal Engine version used by your project and complete the installation.
4. Open your Unreal Engine project.
5. In Unreal Editor, open **Edit > Plugins**.
6. Search for **Roo Gameplay Framework** and enable the plugin.
7. Restart Unreal Editor when prompted.

After the editor restarts, Roo Gameplay Framework is installed and ready to use.

## Run Setup

Open the top editor menu and select RooGame > Core > Setup. On the Default tab, click Repair / Install RooGame.

Setup checks for `Config/DefaultGameplayTags.ini`. If the file does not exist, Setup creates a valid empty Gameplay Tags config. If the file already exists, Setup leaves it unchanged.

Setup does not install a fixed RooGame tag hierarchy. Stat and Attribute roots are created by each Stats Designer according to that Designer asset's Tag Namespace.

For example, a Designer using `MyGame` works under:

```
MyGame.Stats
MyGame.Stats.Stat
MyGame.Stats.Attribute
```

If your project already has `DefaultGameplayTags.ini`, you can continue directly to Stats Designer.

## Content and demo

The plugin can contain content. Enable Show Plugin Content in the Content Browser to inspect the RooGameplayFramework content mount and the included RooDemo assets.

The demo uses the dedicated `RooRPGDemo` Gameplay Tag namespace. Create a project-owned Stats Designer and choose a namespace for your game so production tags remain separate from the demo.

## Dependencies

The plugin uses Unreal Engine modules such as Gameplay Tags, Slate, Property Editor, Asset Registry, and UnrealEd. It does not require a separate third-party runtime package.

## Next step

Continue with Quick Start to create a small Stats Set and initialize a Roo Stats Component.
